Wor»t of Old World
Washington Letter...

STAFF WRITER
FRIDAY, APRIL 25, 1962.
There are still too many places in
America where new city growth embodies
some of the worst features of the old.
Enough is known today about econom-
ical home design and scientific community
plinning to produce new residential areas
which make for a maximum of good liv-
ing. But, by and large, we are not get-
ting that kind of building.
Take a look at the latest residential
projects in most cities. Houses too often
are still being built upon narrow, uniform-
ly straight lots that deny, privacy and cut
down light and air.
Houses built in advance for a market
—the so-called speculative construction—
show little if any architectural quality.
Following the monotonous grid street pat-
tern of old, they may string up and down
a city’s streets in endless reptition of sim-
ilar roof lines and other exterior fea-
tures. •
From a distance they sometimes rtfem
up like packing boxes stacked in a field
awaiting shipment somewhere. Nothing
seems so absurd as to see them jammed to-
gether qn small lots in a new development
set in a sea of hundreds of empty acres.
From the viewpoint of the individual
home buyer and of the community itself
this kind of thing is painfully inadequate.
And it is inexcusable.
The natural impulse of many is to
blame the builder for everything. But
though he frequently is deserving of cen-
sur®, the cities themselves are heavily re-
sponsible. They have it within their pow-
er to compel the development of new areas
is accord with the most modern planning
ideas. Yet few insist upon it.
One may easily argue that in view of
our economic “laws” it is perfectly natural
that home building should have followed
the course it has taken—that the builder
and lot-seller should try to get the maxi-
mum dollar out of any given piece of
ground.
The argument overlooks one factor,
however, that is just as compelling as any
economic law. That is this: You are not
selling strips of bacon when you sell lots.
You are not manufacturing cheese boxes
when you build houses. They are not a
product that will be used and thrown
away.
You are building a city, a neighbor-
hood. a way of life. You are putting a
powerful, perhaps permanent imprint up-
on the land. You are creating an environ-
ment, a scene, a background that will have
to be looked at for countless years.
No one may logically contend, there-
fore, that what any man or group of men
does with a particular piece of land is not
the business of the wider community. It
is. No matter what the rights of private
pioperty, there should be no right to de-
face a city,
It is not too marsh to say that here and
there we are building planned slums. A
house ought to be a man’s crowning pride,
not his particular slot in an expanding cell
block.
What is the use of knowing better if
we do not act upon what we know?

By VERN HAUGLAND (For Jane Eads)
Washington.—-The airline ticket agent in the
bu«y airport terminal picked up his jangling tele-
phone. The loud speaker had just called Col.
Jones, Albuquerque passenger, for the third time,
and the final call for Jones’ flight had just been
made.
Out of the agent’s telephone receiver, in pa-
rade-ground tones, came this: “You damn well bet-
ter not dispatch flight 219. This is Col. Jones call-
ing you from across the lobby after waiting in the
jam in front of your counter for over 20 minutes
to check in. You need one hell of a lot of expan-
sion in this damn terminal.”
The Airport- Operators Council, composed af
operators of major airports, tells this incident to
point a moral. At the same time it points out the
Civil Aeronautics Administration’* Office of Avia-
tion Defense Requirements is placing before de-
fense production authorities the urgent need for
expansion of airport terminal facilities.
“Col. Jones had come from a lengthy staff con-
ference only a 15-minute taxi trip from the air-
port,” the council’s news bulletin reports. He had
allowed 45 minutes for the trip and details at the
airport terminal. Upon arrival:
"1. His taxi had to wait to unload. More load-
ing space was needed.
“2. He had read some official papers in the taxi
and they had to be mailed. There was a delay in
getting a stamped envelope because the airport
post office needed expansion.
“3. He hurried to the airport washroom—and
found a line there where three times the facilities
were needed.
“4. He went to the airjlort drug store for a
pa.ket of aspirin—and waited for service in too
smell a shop.
“5. He remembered his wife and went to the
small group of insurance vending machines. All
had a line of patrons waiting.
“6. He got in the ticket-counter jam.
“7. He had already been listed as a ‘no show’
when he got the bright idea of telephoning from
aci i s# the lobby.”
The council says this is not an overdrawn
story.
It says air freight increased 40 per cent and
dir passenger traffic 20 per cent during the past
year, and adds: “This clearly indicates that the
use of larger aircraft is creating a terminal area
problem. The nation’s 30 largest airports need a
60 )<er cent increase in plant facilities.”

OUT OUR WAY
Williams
BROADWAY
By MARK BARRON
Associated Pros# Writer
New York — American singers
are being welcomed more and more
in the classical musical circles of
Italy. Twenty-three-year-old Jane
Stuart Smith is receiving cheers
after her debut at the Palermo
Opera House in TurandoL This
Roanoke, Va., singer was greeted
with enthusiasm by the Italian
critics. Also 24-year-old Mary Cur-
tis of Lowell, Mass., was showered
with orchids for her singing in
the Trieste Opera.
Orchestra leader Lester Lanin is
back on Broadway after a tour
which took him to Hollywood. He
had no earth shaking revelations
to make about his trip except that
he notetd in Hollywood that when
a fellow turns the other cheek it
merely means that he protographs
better from that side.
A high soprano, Charles Heston,
is just one who can burp in a
soaring voice.
The record of Ibsen on Broad-
way is 125 performances which
Blanche Yurka established in 1925
when she did his “The Wild Duck.”
Although highly lauded as a class-
ical playwright, Ibsen has never
achieved the long runs that Shake-
speare usually wins. Shakespeare
is still the top flight boy at the
box office, although Ibsen gets
equally laudatory reviews.
The other night there happened
in the Bellevue Hospital rehabil-
itation center a new theatrical di-
version for seventeen wheel chair
patients and the performance came
off successfully.
The patients, along with their
nurses, saw a production of Ayn
Rand's Broadway hit of a decade
ago, “The Night of January 16,”
and all the performers were wheel
chair patients.
James Bryan, a polio victim
from Trinidad, British West In-
dies, produced and directed the
wheel-chair actors as they per-
j formed the three-act drama on a
! make-shift stage which was erec-
’ ted in one of the hospital wards.
All of the wheel-chair actors are
patients in the hospital, hut they
| borrowed the acting facilities of
| 17-year-old Mary Lou Carrano, of |
! Patchogue, Long Island, to play
the feminine lead. They had to
; have a girl in the show, but other-
j wise the wheel-chair boys did
okay with the production.
Nicholas Joy is regarded as one
j of the most British-Breetish of
all actors on the Broadway stage.
He is old-school tie and all that
sort of thing, and occasionally
wears a monocle on stage although
he doesn’t wear one off stage. He
does, invariably, wear British
spats. But, what amazed me the
other day was to discover that this
extremely British actor, Mr. Joy,
is only half British. His mother
was French.
HOLLYWOOD

Aaancintad Praia Writer
Hollywood — Can a woman be
husky and still b* feminine?
Yes, claims Carolina Cotton,
who can toss a si« foot man on his
ear. And nobody, including the
thousands of GIs she has entertain-
ed overseas, would call her any- i
thing but cute, pretty and femin-
ine.
This lush, blue-eyed blonde is
about to launch a TV film series in
which she will he the hero. She
will bring murderin’, hos-thievin’
varmints to justice. She’ll be the
one who rides off into the sunset
alone, leaving her cowboy friend
sitting on the porch. The idea is to
provide a TV heroine for little
girls who’d like to be Wild West
cowgirls themselves.
Miss Cotton is a bouncy beauty
horn 23 years ago on an Arkansas
farm. As a child, she moved with
her family to San Francisco, where
she won the national jacks cham-
pionship at the World’s Fair. At
12 she’ began singing on a radio
station. After finishing high school
she came to Holywood to crash the
movies.
She did, too, starting as a west-
ern hand singer. Twenty-odd pic-
tures later, she has just co-star-
red with Gene Autry in “
Country.”
Miss Cotton wants to be only
a western star. People the world
over recognize westerners and are
friendlier to them, she thinks.
“I've never been any place, includ-
ing North Africa and Europe, that
they wouldn’t smile and say ‘Cow-
boy,’ when they saw my western
costume. No matter what their
language is, they know that word
’cowbow.' ”
Miss Cotton has flown thousands
of miles to sing for troops. When
I called at her Hollywood Hills
home, she had spent most of the
day doing 14 shows at a tubercu-
losis sanitarium.
Her real name is Helen Hag-
strom. The San Francisco radio
statiot) named her simply “Caro-
lina” because she was from the
south. Later, a contest among her
fans picked “Cotton,” which is the

with Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee on May 6.
WHERE will Senator Russell speak? Oh, that’s bein’ left
" up to his Florida campaign manager, Dr. Eugene S. Peek, Sr.,
of Ocala, Fla. Wherever Dr. Peek thinks it advisable for Senator
Russell to go. there he’ll go. Within the limits of his time, of course.
This is the first time Florida has had this early preference l^mary-
The names of the candidates themselves appear on the ballot for local,
state and national office. Anybody can run on this ballot.
In addition to Russell and Kefauver, a couple of other local charac-
ters are running for President, but they’ll be eliminat^. Thrt s why
this May 8 primary is important as the first test of strength between
the gentlemen from Georgia and Tennessee. ____ ,
Three weeks later, on May 27, will come Florida s seconA primary.
In this election, the names of only the two candidates retming the
most votes for state and local offices will appear.
The names of Russell and Kefauver will disappear, however, and
in their places will be the names of their pledged delegates to be
elected for the Democratic Convention in Chicago. There are .>»
delegates entered for Russell, but only 24 for Kqfauver. Only 24 are
to be chosen. That gives Kefauver a decided advantage.
cpHE great confusion this causes is that Russell might win the beauty •
J contest in the first primary and a few, some or all of his pledged
delegates might be defeated in the second primary.
The genial Georgia senator doesn’t have to do another lick of wont,
of course, to capture the solid South’s 316 votes—Texas to Virginia.
This could well be the largest first-ballot strength at Chicago. bother
it can grow to 616 and victory is something else again.
At Russell’s Washington headquarters in a small second floor May-
flower Hotel apartment, everything seems serene. Aaron L. lord,
former Mississippi congressman, is in charge. Half a dozen soutnem

Another good-lookin’ gal sits at a desk with half a dozen phones in
